Plant Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers very bright light and can benefit from several hours of gentle direct sunlight. Acclimate gradually to stronger sun to prevent leaf scorch.
• Water: Allow the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings, then water deeply and let excess moisture drain away. Reduce watering during winter and never leave the plant sitting in water.
• Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. A container with drainage holes is strongly recommended.
• Humidity: Average household humidity is suitable. Jade plants prefer relatively dry conditions and do not require misting.
• Temperature: Grows well at approximately 18–24°C during active growth. Protect from frost, cold drafts, and prolonged temperatures below 10°C.
• Fertilizer: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted cactus, succulent, or balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce or stop feeding during winter.
• Maintenance: Rotate the plant periodically for balanced growth and wipe dusty leaves gently when needed. Avoid frequent watering, as excess moisture is a common cause of root problems.
• Pruning: Trim leggy or overgrown stems during spring or summer to encourage a fuller, more branched shape. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.
• Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a sturdy container only slightly larger than the existing pot and use fresh, well-draining succulent soil.

Note: Plant size, fullness, branching, foliage color, and overall appearance may vary naturally from the product image. Decorative pot design may also vary. Most plants are supplied in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
